I have 2 20 dollar seats for the March 29th/30th shows that I'm looking to exchange because of Passover. If anyone would like to swap, I'd be very appreciative.

Me too. We have Row T and would have preferred Dress Circle or anything closer really. Glad to have seats, but for $199 plus fees, it would be nice to have a choice. Looks like they are holding back the center closer seats. Does that mean that they will fiddle with the pricing and make them a lot more?!

Hate to be pesky or sound like a bot, but if anyone gets a standby code and ends up not using it, I would be so grateful for it. I'm taking a family member who's a lifelong HP fan to NYC in April, and it would make him so happy if we could get tickets. Please pm me. Thanks!

Yep no one I know got a standby code either. Looks like I may have to write this off for my May trip unless I get lucky with the $40 thing

What price point was that seat in, if you don't mind me asking? (Still waiting for a standby code...)

I'm seeing someone say they got a standby code. Does that mean the standby codes are starting to go out. Nothing here. If anyone has a code they do not want use please PM me.
Thanks!

I have a meeting at 3:15 p.m. and will laugh so hard if I get a code at 3:13 p.m.

$199. That was in my budget, so I'm thrilled. If I get a second one I'll send it your way. Fingers crossed.

Someone in the other thread posted a tweet from Ticketmaster stating a limited amount of standby codes are being issued.
Just give the world Love.

So my dad apparently got a standby code, and he called my mom and told her, but not me, the guy who signed him up for it and wants the code. Sigh

How are tickets showing up on StubHub already? Do they allow you to buy/sell "futures?" Upthread someone wrote that pickup requires purchasing CC, so how can any of these listings be valid?
Also, I vastly underestimated the difficulty of the process today, still waiting for the code fairy.

I applaud anyone who was able to get tickets for more than one person. Was trying to get to tickets for three then two and even with the additional preview seats coming out I was unable to find anything under $155 per ticket which sadly was out of our price range.
I was finally able to find $40 tickets when looking for a single person, which I took as a big win.

I truly hope TM will be kind enough to tweet when they stop sending standby codes, if they haven't already. I'd like to just go back to my life at some point.

I got a standby code at 2:09 and had a ticket by 2:11. Row T all the way to the right in seat 27. Here’s hoping it won’t be too obstructed.

Are there any psychiatrists on this thread? Starting to worry about myself because I can't stop reading this stuff and am just sitting here waiting/hoping for a standby code like a crazy person. Every time I get a text I jump. Literally can't focus on anything else. There must be some diagnosis for this. What. Is. Happening.
I am cracking up at your message because I AM a psychiatrist...and Im doing the same thing :)

In some bizarre world where someone doesn't want their code, please PM me.

There is no doubt in my mind that a significant number of seats are being withheld, probably to determine how much more they can raise ticket prices (the London production's premium pricing keeps going up). And as much as I know people want to see this show, anyone willing to pay $200/per performance for a balcony seat deserves to pay that amount. Producers charge that much because people clearly will pay it, even if doing so grudgingly.
As for the return policy, that's the same policy they have in London. They know they will be able to re-sell the tickets at face value (or higher), so there is no reason not to accept returns.

There has to be a name for this in the DSM (don't know what version we are in now), no? I'm sure it's some mix of anxiety, OCD, hysteria...
Anyone willing to help me stop the insanity please PM me a code! This is ridiculous. I can't believe how invested I've become in this, it's almost embarrassing.

Ugh I hope so too...it's been almost an hour since they tweeted that standby codes were going out...I'm starting to lose hope...

I had a 12pm window and didn't find anything at my price range. What came up was tickets for $760 for 2 people. I really can't believe I didn't get anything. Tried every date and combo for the entire 2.5 hours and got nowhere. Disappointing. At this point, I might as well see it in London and get the British experience.

I honestly thought it would be harder to get tickets to Angels in America than it would be for this. Boy was I totally wrong

Are they going to put tickets up on TM resale? I wonder if that's why they won't allow transfers - they want you to have to resell any tickets you aren't using via their own resale site so they can make even more money on the fees. Since they are giving people the opportunity for refunds, they probably figure why give them an option to transfer - TM gets nothing out of that transaction. If they refund, they resell at face value and get fees again, or you put them on TM resale and they get even more.
